For modifications that are linked to other activities such as PMI team visit, depot level
installation of related hardware, etc., the Effective Date is established in accordance with the
schedule for the pre-requisite activity. Note that site personnel are responsible for reporting
completion of the modification even if it is implemented by an outside activity. In this instance,
